Abstract

The fossil fuel reserves in India are rapidly exhausting with the country's development. To cope with the energy crisis, end-user efficiency plays an important role. This paper deals with energy saving in lighting systems with the replacement of lighting programs, as in India there is in all sectors a growing demand for energy. A number of commonly used lighting sources and their comparison in light production were discussed. The campus lighting system consisting of a T12 fluorescent lamp for monitoring the residential and institutional area of an existing device can be replaced by proposed LED lighting with equivalent performance, but has greater efficiency to reduce light energy consumption, This improvement Endbenutzereffizienz reduce the peak and the average demand of electricity, which reduces the load on the power grid. The annual energy savings through the proposed system are about 65% over current costs, which is a significant achievement of the energy saving technology. The retrofit period for the proposed lighting system installation is a little over three years. The initial investment for a short-term rating is slightly higher, but at a long-term valuation, the initial investment for the proposed regime is reduced by 50%, as the operating time of the proposed system is approximately five times higher higher than the current regime.

Highlights

  • India has more than 17 percent of the world's population, making it a major consumer of energy resources

  • Annual energy consumption of total LED Street light fixture i.e. 40 is given by: 40*78.84 = 3153.6 unit’s Annual energy cost for campus lighting with LED Street light fixture is given by: 5*3153.6 = Rs. 15,768/- (Considering unit cost as Rs. 5/-)

  • It has been found that improving end-user efficiency with the most efficient LED luminaire proposed provides a significant result for a campus lighting system

Summary

Introduction

India has more than 17 percent of the world's population, making it a major consumer of energy resources. India consumes its maximum energy in residential, commercial and agricultural purposes compared to China, Japan, Russia, EU-27 and USA [1] It shows that the share of energy consumption in India and China has increased due to the high level of urbanization, the population explosion and the intense growth of IT and related companies [2]. Improving end-user efficiency is part of demand management, which reduces end-user energy consumption. This in turn reduces the load on the existing power system, which reduces energy costs per unit [7] [8]. In all the sectors both indoor and outdoor lighting efficiency can be improved with higher efficient lighting sources which will help to reduce the gap between demand and supply
